SILENCE

SILENCE

We’re always worried about the same things. “I am.” At her honesty, I could feel the smile growing. “You’re not alone anymore. You’ll be fine.” I’m waiting for her reply but she remains silent. I’m about to call out to her when the sound of her clearing her throat stops me. “No. I’m still alone.” “Huh? August is with…” “You’re not here.” “...” W-what did she just say?!

“You don’t know how difficult it must be for me right now, but I appreciate the sentiment.” Yikes! Even to my own ears that had sounded so cold. The silence that I had been intending to break stretched itself into an even deeper chasm of awkwardness. I sighed. Sandra’s voice was very soft when she finally spoke. “I’m sorry if I sounded presumptuous. Of course I have no idea what it feels like to be in your shoes… I was just trying to empathize with you because you’re my best friend. I am sorry if I offended you though babe. It wasn’t my intention in any way.”

The Darkside of the Moon

The Darkside of the Moon

However, to lose oneself is not to wander; it is to walk through a foreclosure of one’s own soul, each familiar landmark of self closing its doors with a hollow thud. But solitude is the truest mirror, a place where whispers echo louder than the clamors of a crowd, where silence is the only faithful companion. In the heart’s quiet corridors, the comfort of isolation mingles with a cold draft of longing, one that no borrowed company can fill. Like a shadow dancing in one’s periphery, a fractured sense of belonging haunts the fringes of an empty room.

His Silent Luna

His Silent Luna

And I wanted someone, anyone, to know the truth. So I followed Ronan back to his room. It was smaller than Tracy’s. He had a bed, a plush chair, and a stand with a violin on it. I motioned to the violin, and wrote, “You play?” He nodded. “It’s a challenge keeping it in tune living in a cave and all, but I love the music. It fills the time, and the silence.” “I was learning,” I wrote. “I was supposed to be more accomplished. I liked the violin.”

My Best Friends Dad Is My Second Chance Mate

My Best Friends Dad Is My Second Chance Mate

Padding silently across the room, I made my way to the window, drawing back the curtains to reveal the quiet stillness of the night outside. Leaning against the window sill, I gazed out at the moonlit landscape, its silvery glow casting long shadows across the world below. The stillness of the night was both soothing and eerie, a reminder of the world's vastness and my own insignificance within it. I stood there, lost in thought, a sense of peace beginning to settle over me. The quiet of the night offered a welcome respite from the chaos of the day. Closing my eyes, I allowed myself to be enveloped by the tranquility, embracing solitude as a rare gift in a world that never seemed to stop mov

The Contracted Alliance; Accidental Marriage

The Contracted Alliance; Accidental Marriage

It murmured — a gentle knock upon the tall glass windows of the Stanford estate, a soft reminder that silence was an illusion, even when the heart yearned for tranquility. I remained solitary in the conservatory, draped in a smooth navy robe, my naked feet sinking into the soft white carpet. Outside, the landscape extended infinitely, bathed in moonlight and fog. It ought to have provided solace — the silence,the seclusion. Yet this evening, it seemed like a mirror, revealing all that I dared not confront. He did not call. Once more. Nathaniel.

Rebirth of the Moon Goddess

Rebirth of the Moon Goddess

Low and deep, the single word carried an unconcealable excitement, yearning, and lust. For a few seconds, absolute silence dominated the clearing. The hoots of the night owls, the whistle of the night breeze, and the constant titters of the night crickets all disappeared. For a brief moment, it was as if time itself had stopped. There was absolute silence. “Mate…it’s you, isn’t it?” The thrilled voice of the entranced female cautiously rang out again, the slight tremble in her tone conveying her nervousness. Thud…thud…

Sound of Silence

Sound of Silence

He would take it as a challenge. Skylar would reach a certain stream after weaving his way through the thick woods. That's a few miles of ground he covered every time he would be there. He would pant and stare at blackness when it was dark or at the moon's reflection in the water when it's out. Full moon was in a few days so it's bright out that tonight. Skylar could see the broken image of the moon in the water, obscured by the shadows of the leaves of trees surrounding the stream. Arriving there, he would calm down from the running and his wolf was soothed by being in the presence of the stream. Or more precisely, the scent surrounding it which pacified him and his disappointment for his h

Rejecting My Three Alpha Mates

Rejecting My Three Alpha Mates

I press my fist lightly to my chest and speak into the bond, not demanding, not desperate, but deliberate. You’re not alone. You’re not lost. Take your time. We’re still here. The thread answers with the faintest warmth. Small. Unmistakable. And when the monitors smooth and the room finally settles into watchful quiet, I realize something unexpected: The silence no longer feels like emptiness. No… It feels like something gathering strength.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pico Iyer’s 'The Art of Stillness' feels like a love letter to the quiet moments we often rush past. It’s not just about being alone; it’s about reclaiming space in a world that never stops shouting. I’ve found myself craving those pockets of solitude after reading it—like when I’d pause mid-chapter and just stare at the ceiling, letting ideas settle. The book argues that stillness isn’t emptiness; it’s where creativity hums. Think of Miyazaki’s zen-like studio scenes or the silent panels in 'Solanin'—those artists get it. Solitude becomes a canvas, not a cage.

What really stuck with me was how Iyer ties stillness to connection. Paradoxical, right? But when I unplugged for a weekend (no phone, no screens), I noticed tiny details—the way my cat’s tail twitched in sleep, the rhythm of rain. It mirrored how Studio Ghibli films linger on quiet gestures. Maybe that’s the point: solitude isn’t isolation. It’s where we hear our own voice clearly enough to truly listen to others.
